Transfer Rumour Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Barnfred 55]

Paul Joyce just retweeted this

Fair enough. He's their player after all. Probably kept them up last season and they won't be able to replace him with a player of similar quality. So he probably is worth that much to them.

Similar situation to us with stones last season and Lukaku now. Don't blame the club in the slightest. The danger in this is that they are left with a disgruntled player, but in fairness to the lad he doesn't seem that type

However he clearly isn't worth that sort of money to us so, if this is indeed true, it's time for us to walk away. We're not going to succeed with all of our targets. This sort of thing is to be expected now we're perceived to have the Lukaku money.

Exactly.

The Williams deal was agreed days before we actually sold Stones last year. Swansea were wanting to save face on that.

I'd imagine this is the same. They're talking a big game.

We won't pay anything above £40m for him. He isn't worth that much, like, but Rom wasn't worth £90m really.

He's worth that much to Swansea so they can demand what they want for him. I just don't think they'll get close to that.

"He wanted to move..." will follow.

Doesn't matter what Leicester bid either if he wants Everton.

 

[Bud McBlokeski]

£50m just sounds like sabre-rattling to me. I reckon if it happens it will be £32-35.

 

[barneygumble]

Would you pay £50m hmmmmmmmmm

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

James Rodriguez is going for £52m. We need to violently swerve this one now.

Especially when we have Barkley

Concentrate on getting that contract signed, no need to blow 50 big ones on Sigurdsson, good though he is

 

[billyblue80]

50m not a chance.Or is this just smoke and mirrors?

 

[ProZ]

I hope Everton are not so single minded and realise he's not worth that fee.

Not every player they try for needs to be signed.

 

[bluestevon]

32m - yes
50m - not a chance in hell

Will get done and be announced as undisclosed no doubt

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Good player, but at £32M, there must be better value out there somewhere.

£50M out f the question.

No spring chicken either, football wise. He's as good as he'll ever be. Swerve and move on to other targets.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I think he's a game changing player for us, but you can't pay that at his age.

You'd rather throw a bit more at VVD. But we NEED to get at least one world class player with the Rom money, no question, and ideally improve the starting lineup in several spots.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

£50m for him? hahaha, yeah right oh Taffs, you can keep him thanks all the same.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Because it's akin to us asking for £30m for Niasse.

Sure, we'd be entitled to ask for it, but nobody in their right mind is going to pay it.

If they don't want to sell they're well within their rights to quote silly figures. It's up to the player if he wants to force it and the price would likely drop somewhat. I don't believe they've quoted £50m though.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Absolutely no chance at £50m. Would be gutted.

Yes yes, "not my money" etc. but it still takes away from other signings and wages. I was baulking at £32m, nevermind £50m!

Swerve if remotely true please.

Whatever your take on Rooney he does provide us with a lot of the attributes Siggy has to offer. Now Wayne has signed I'm not so sure this is as important as it was before.

Think I'd rather spend in the money on a Mata type player. Someone who offers something different to what we already have. Especially if Barks signs.

 

[BillLovesRoo]

They did a lot of this in the summer last year days before the Williams move. Seems their default tactic. Think we need Gylfi to push the move now as well.

Aldo thinks it would be a disgrace if he went on strike
